FAQPage Schema
How do I negotiate freight rates and structure carrier RFPs?

To negotiate freight rates, you structure RFPs, evaluate carrier proposals, and build routing guides using established frameworks. This systematic approach ensures competitive pricing and clear routing instructions for freight allocation.

What is the best way to track carrier performance and build scorecards?

Tracking carrier performance involves building scorecards and conducting regular business reviews. This mechanism evaluates carrier reliability and compliance, ensuring your transportation portfolio meets strategic service requirements.

Do I need FMCSA SAFER database checks to onboard a new carrier?

Yes, onboarding a new carrier requires FMCSA SAFER checks, insurance verification, and reference checks. These compliance vetting steps are mandatory prerequisites to ensure the carrier meets safety and operational standards.

How do I onboard a new carrier to my transportation portfolio?

You onboard a new carrier by executing the onboarding command with the carrier name and enabling the FMCSA check. This initiates the automated vetting process for compliance, safety, and references.

When should I reallocate freight during tight capacity periods?

Reallocate freight during tight capacity periods by analyzing your carrier portfolio and performance scorecards. This helps identify available, compliant carriers and strategically distribute loads based on negotiated rates.

What limitations exist when sourcing carriers without reference checks?

Sourcing carriers without reference checks limits compliance vetting and increases operational risk. Bypassing this dependency means you lack comprehensive performance validation, potentially compromising your transportation portfolio's reliability.
